PWLL Spring 2017 Newsletter.Pub Peabody West Little League Spring 2017 Newsletter Welcome to the Peabody West Little League Quarterly Newsletter; a publication for the PWLL community to share information and talk all things baseball. The Newsletter is published quarterly and distributed via e-mail and on our Web site. If you have ideas for a story and/or would like to be a contributing author, please contact Public Relations/Fundraising Coordinator John Horgan at [email protected]. Thanks for reading!!! Despite being postponed for about a month due to bad weather, PWLL’s Opening Day Jamboree was held on May 20th amidst bright sunshine, PWLL family, community leaders, and some new friends. As part of the Opening Day Jamboree, PWLL raised an American Flag over our AAA field in honor of Lt. Ross, after whom our fields are named. With a bagpiper playing, the new American Flag was carried out to the AAA flag pole by an Honor Guard arranged by Veteran’s Agent Steve Patten. As the flag was being raised by the Honor Guard, Kayli Kotchian sang the National Anthem. Once the new American Flag was proudly flying, the bagpiper resumed playing as the Honor Guard marched out. Mayor Ted Bettencourt, the key note speaker, then gave a wonderful speech about the importance of community spirit while fostering the youth of our city, and the role youth sports can play in that. Mayor Bettencourt was followed by Ward 6 Councilor Barry Sinewitz and Ward 5 Coun- cilor Joel Saslaw, who each gave thoughtful speeches with personal memories at Lt. Ross Park. Next up was Mike Mannix, a member of the 35 Infantry Association who traveled from Western Massachusetts to be part of our flag raising ceremony and represent the 35th. Lt. Ross was killed in action at the age of 22 in Darlac Province, Vietnam on August 22, 1968, while serving as a Forward Observer with 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry, 4th Infantry Division; assigned to Battery B, 2nd Battalion, 9th Artillery. In an inspiring speech, Mr. Mannix drew a correlation between the type of man Lt. Ross was and being part of a baseball team, such as: backing up your teammates in the field, being brave when facing challenges at the plate, congratulating teammates when they succeed, and being there for them when they don’t. Lt. Ross possessed all of these qualities. The American Flag raising ceremony was closed out by Shirley Howard, the sister of Lt. Ross. Ms. Howard spoke fondly of her brother and their growing up in West Peabody and how he chose to leave college and enlist in the Army to defend our freedom. Following the ceremony, Ms. Howard contacted PWLL and said her brother and parents would of been proud of the flag raising ceremony. Ms. Howard added the ceremony allowed her to re-connect with many of Lt. Ross’ childhood friends who came down to be part of the special event. The new American Flag raised over the AAA field will fly along side the Major’s field American Flag that was flown over Ft. Sill in Oklahoma in February 2017 in honor of Lt. Ross and the AA Field American Flag, flown in February 2017 over Schofield Barracks in Hawaii, also in honor of Lt. Ross. It was humbling to see our community leaders, veterans, private citizens, and our newly found friends join PWLL players and coaches to honor Lt. Ross, a true American hero. Going forward, PWLL plans to raise the AAA Field American Flag in honor of Lt. Ross each year as part of our Opening Day Jamboree. Please consider this an open invitation to join us each year!!!
